OK, sorry for the last few days... took me a while to figure what was going on.
Rebooting and truncating the sessions table only worked for minutes before the problem would come back again...
Turns out this was NOT the fix but helped find the cause thou.
We were under a DoS attack(denial of service) from a China botnet.
Not sure who started it but this was NOT an accident. It was being held on purpose. Was getting at least 500 hits/minutes from what I could see.
Let me know if you're still having issues.. if this was done on purpose it will be back, if not then I guess that we have been targetted by some kind of automatic script (but I fail to see what someone could gain by DoS'ing us...).
Have a good weekend, you can go back to your normal MAACA schedule now.
OK now I've found the real issue and it is FIXED !!!
